In June last, Eknath Shinde and other 15 MLAs led a rebellion against then Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray, resulting in the collapse of the Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) government.
The court hearing of the disqualification petitions of 16 Shiv Sena MLAs, including Eknath Shinde, is set to be held soon.
